April is in with a bang the fishing this past week has been on fire. Another wave of bass have made a major move to shallow water to spawn. I seen a lot of new beds today. The fishing will get even better as April rolls on. The fishing conditions have been good to great at Lake Fork, with many big Bass being caught on a daily basis. Water temps are now in the upper seventies in some places. Water is clear to stained in some areas due to the recent rain and winds. But if you don't mind a little wind and an occasional storm trying to blow in, the fishing can be tremendous this time of year. My pattern to fishing for these April Bass hasn't changed too much from March.
I am catching a number of bass fishing wacky rigged Trick Worms, best colors have been green pumpkin and Watermelon Candy red, also a Brush Hog and a lizard are working good. Yesterday Allen Green and Steve Wood from Iowa fished with me and we boated 38 with one that went 7 lb 9oz the action was almost nonstop. The bass have moved into the new flooded cover and the Frog bite is coming on strong!! With all this new cover April, May, and June will be some of the best fishing we have seen in years, the Top water action will be off the chart!! this is one time you do not want to miss coming to Lake Fork it's like fishing a new lake.
Good places to try right now are Ray Branch, Little Caney, Chaney Branch, these creeks always produces big bass this time of year. The lake is still coming up and in good shape and the fishing is as good as it gets.
